         WOMEN'S HISTORY HONOREE: CATHERINE ELIZABETH McCARTHY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DARREN SOTO

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 22, 2019

  Mr. SOTO. Madam Speaker, I retract the Congressional recognition of 
Ms. Catherine Elizabeth McCarthy.
  Congressional recognition of one's accomplishments is a solemn honor 
and privilege conferred to people that have earned it through their 
service to their community. Catherine Elizabeth McCarthy is wholly 
undeserving of this honor, as she deceived the community about her 
medical credentials and did not perform any of the actions described in 
the recognition. While I understand that I cannot make a retraction of 
my March 11, 2019 remarks made in the Congressional Record, I formally 
submit this statement as a substitute for my earlier comments
